  • Title: Self-statements, locus of control, and depression in predicting self-esteem.
    Author: Philpot VD, Holliman WB, Madonna S.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 1995 Jun; 76(3 Pt 1):1007-10. PubMed ID: 7568574.
    Abstract:
    The contributions of frequency of positive and negative self-statements and their ratio, locus of control, and depression in prediction of self-esteem were examined. Volunteers were 145 college students (100 women and 45 men) who were administered the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory-Adult Form, Automatic Thought Questionnaire-Revised, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scale. Intercorrelations suggested significant relationships among variables. The magnitude of the relationship was strongest between the frequency of negative self-statements and self-esteem. These results are consistent with and lend further support to prior studies of Kendall, et al. and Schwartz and Michaelson.
